Can a football game affect the
outcome of an election? What about shark attacks? Or a drought? In a rational
world the answer, of course, would be no, but according to historian Rick Shenkman the answer is not as easy
as that. In his new book Political Animals: How Our Stone Age Brain Gets in the Way of Smart Politics, he argues that our world is
anything but rational and draws on science, politics, and history to explore
the hidden forces behind our often illogical choices. Rick joins me today on the show to talk all
about the book. You can also follow Rick on twitter.
